Director Robert Rodriguez has had a varied filmography over the years, from the horror of From Dusk Till Dawn and The Faculty to adaptations like Sin City and Alita: Battle Angel. Some of his most popular movies are Spy Kids series and The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl, and he's set to return to family sci-fi with his next film, the Netflix movie We Can Be Heroes. The first trailer has now been released.

The trailer is fast and frantic, and manages to set up the plot very quickly. Essentially, the world's superheroes have been captured by aliens, and their super-powered kids must team up to get them back. These include Guppy, the daughter of Sharkboy and Lavagirl. It looks like a wild, hyperactive CGI-overload that will definitely appeal to younger viewers (and probably some adults too). Check the trailer out below.

We Can Be Heroes stars Boyd Holbrook, Pedro Pascal, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, YaYa Gosselin, Christian Slater, Christopher McDonald, and Vivien Blair. In addition, Taylor Dooley returns as Lavagirl, with JJ Dashnaw replacing Taylor Lautner as Sharkboy. It hits Netflix on January 1.
